Sri Mahakala Sahasranamam Sri Prakrishtanandoktagama

The following is a very rare 1008 names of Lord Mahakaleshwara (Lord Shiva) in Avanti
(currently known as Ujjain), one of the 12 Jyotirlingas taken from Prakrishtanandoktagama.
This Sahasranama was given to Sudama (aka Kushela) at his request by Lord Krishna when
both of them were undergoing tutelage under Sage Sandipani in his Ashrama outside of
Ujjain. Lord Krishna mentions that this Sahasranama should be used for Archana to Lord
Shiva with Bilva (Bael) leaves. As the Phalashruti is very elaborate, an abridged version is
given below.

One who recites this hymn gets absolved of all sins along with manifestation of all
truths, victory of the world and all wealth when recited once, twice or thrice daily
respectively.

One who recites this under sacred trees like Banyan or Tulasi or holy waters
adjoining those trees begets fructification of all virtuous deeds and rightful wishes.

Reciting this 100 or 1000 times bestows immense benefits such as fulfillment of all
desires, wealth, progeny, emancipation, health, relief from curses, etc. It is advised
to perform Havan for 100 times, Tarpana for 10 times, sprinkling with water once
(one-tenth each) after completion of total count.

One who recites this in various holy places in and around Ujjain, Gaya, etc. get
specific benefits as wished (Refer to Phalashruti).

While reciting, it is prescribed to light a ghee lamp and offer sumptuous meal to
Brahmanas (Sages) (11 or 5 or 3 or one Brahmana at least) at the end.
